Amazing Volunteer Opportunity in Armenia

Last year, our volunteer home building group worked to put these two boys into a safe secure home – they had been living in the rusty metal shipping container you see in the background. This June 3-17 we’ll be enjoying the richness of Armenia and its generous people in a remarkable way – by working side by side with families to construct decent housing. Join us to travel Armenia’s historic roads to see pre-Christian sites, 3rd century churches, green pastures, colorful marketplaces, and dramatic mountain gorges. Learn about Armenia’s captivating history and culture while importantly, helping a needy family achieve their lifelong dream of a healthy home. You will come away with more than you give, with more than you ever hoped to receive.

No construction experience is necessary – there’s a job for everyone. We typically alternate working 2-3 days doing concrete block construction and then tour for 1 day, with 2 days to explore Yerevan at the end of the build. Beautiful scenery, wonderful people, organic foods and a lively culture make for these times worthy of return trips!

The cost of the trip is $1450, which includes 13 nights of hotel accommodations, 12 days of meals, ground transportation (to/from airport, to/from build site, & touring), insurance, site and tour staff, T-shirt/hat & orientation materials, worksite equipment and materials, and museum/event/concert passes. The team members are responsible for obtaining their passport, immunizations (all that is really needed is an up-to-date tetanus), visa (~$12, available online), and airfare.
